Open in App
Solution

A rational number is expressed by ratio of integers.

Explanation:
The only square roots that are rational numbers are those who are perfect squares.
16 for example is a rational number because it equals 4 and 4 is an integer.
14=3.74 which is not an integer and therefore is an irrational number.
